Enjoy Life.

What o truly beautiful world we live
in Nature gives us grandeur Of noun
tains. glens and oceans, and thousands of
means of enjoyment. We can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease. when there Is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof. that GREEN'S AHglet HoDsr, will
make them free from disease, as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
are the direct causes Of seventy-five per
cent. Of such maladies as %Billiousness,
Indigestion. Sick Headache, Costiveness,
Nervous Prostration, Dizziness Of the
Head, Palpitation Of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses of
august Floaoer will prove its wonderful
effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

False Report.

A report has been circulated during
the past week, that the Jonesboro Graded
School would close in about six weeks.
This is a false report and the school will
continue until the expiration of the term.
1t doubtless grew out of the fact that an
other city in the state in a certain even,
would try to secure the services Of Prof.
Mason.
That event has not happened, and II Il
shonld, it will not affect the permanancy
of the Graded School.

The Mexican pension bill, as amend
ed in the senate, passed the house on
the 9th and only needs the Presidents
signature to become a law. 1t places on
the pension rolls all survivors of the
Mexican wal who served sixty days in
Mexico or enroute thereto or in any bat
tie, also their surviving widows who
have not remarked, but only applies to
those who have become 60 years Of age
or are subject to any disability or depend
ency prescribed by existing pension laws.
1t Is estimated that 1t will give pensions
to about 40, 900 persons, either soldiers or
their widows. The rate of pension grant
ed is So per month. According to the
number of troops furnished for the Mex.
lean wal by this state Tennessee would
receive about $275, 600 under this bill.

The practice of dumping dead
animals out in that section of the
country where the Hot SPRINGS and
Lake View roads fork, is getting to
be fearful nuisance.
The men who leave dead animals
out there Invariably dump them on
the West side Of the road. so that
the prevailing wind, which is from
the Southwest, watts the horrible
scents of putrid dogs, ETC.. right on
to the road. Young people who
drive out with their sweethearts, or
persons going to the Hot Springs,
complain of the nuisance.
If the dead animals were thrown
on the East side of the road
the wind would carry the un-
wholesome odors the other way.
